Oh wow... the essential pair... Hopkins wins however.

Love both these films. Manhunter is one of my absolute favorites. Manhunter wins.

The Silence of the Lambs is the best "Lecter film" in my opinion.

Manhunter isn't a bad film. It just...didn't work for me. I thought The Silence of the Lambs was brilliant, Anthony Hopkins actually IS Hannibal Lecter; one of my all time favorites.

The Silence of the Lambs is a class above.

Silence smashes Manhunter...

I might sound crazy, but I think I'll go with Manhunter.

Manhunter is still a quality film, and if it done certain things better it could've even surpassed Silence of the Lambs. However, the power of Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins' amazing performances and a slightly interesting level of intrigue put it over the first incarnation of the Hannibal Lector series.

Manhunter, love Silence too but Manhunter is a masterpiece
